Chapter 1136: New Year Greetings_1

"So, it's Xiao Yu and the siblings from the Qin family! Is this young man your boyfriend, Xue? What a handsome fellow," the old lady commented, looking at Chu Molin.

"Thank you, Granny," Chu Molin responded with a nod.

"You folks have arrived rather early today," remarked the old man, realizing that they were the first group to visit them for the New Year celebration.

"We chose to make our visits separately, so we had an early meal," Qin Yu explained with a smile.

"That's how your family arranged it this year, is it? No wonder you're here so early," the old man nodded in understanding. Usually, only close friends and family would visit, wishes were generally exchanged if others were encountered.

"Yes, since we seldom get the chance to come home, we wanted to spend more time with family. We thought we'd drop by and pay our respects. Molin will be returning to the military soon, so he can't afford to delay too long," Qin Xue explained, smiling at the elderly couple.
